Domestic abuse is pervasive The most prevalent violence in our communities, says prevention advocate BY PAUL GROESSEL – SUN NEWSPAPERS If the level and amount of violence inside area homes was moved outside, to the visible street corners, “people would be up in arms,” said Bob Olson of Cornerstone, the domestic abuse prevention agency, based in Bloomington. Olson, a retired Eden Prairie police sergeant, said domestic abuse, especially in the suburbs, is the most prevalent form of violence in our communities. That message he regularly shares comes on the heels of October’s domestic violence awareness month. Olson has been working with Cornerstone since his February retirement from the Eden Prairie Police Department, where he served on the Domestic Abuse Response Team, known as DART. The unit won the Minnesota Crime Prevention Association’s Team of the Year Award in October 2010 for its services. That actively works with domestic abuse victims and potential victims to reduce violence in homes. That message is also on the heals of Viking’s defensive back Chris Cook’s felony charge for allegedly strangling his girlfriend at his Eden Prairie residence Oct. 22. In Eden Prairie, Sgt. Dennis Paulson said, from his perspective, there are

domestic calls on a regular basis. There is about an arrest once a week and a domestic call of some kind – whether verbal or physical – during every shift, it seems. It doesn’t have to be extreme to be domestic abuse, Paulson said. It could be verbal abuse, a push, a slap, a hit. To further reduce domestic violence, Eden Prairie police, as well as Edina and St. Louis Park, have implemented a lethality screening – questions that officers responding to a domestic call can ask the victim. Bloomington and Richfield, the other two cities Cornerstone serves, plan on implementing it, Olson said. Cornerstone hired Olson under a federal grant to coordinate prevention and awareness efforts among the five cities Cornerstone serves, the police departments and judicial system. Paulson, now leading Eden Prairie’s DART, said the lethality screening is meant to measure how much of a real or potential danger someone could be in. The screenings are given when responding to all domestic abuse calls involving intimate partners who live together. The first three of the dozen yes or no questions can trigger the biggest alarms, Paulson said. They ask if a partner has ever used or threatened to use a weapon against the other, if the partner has ever threatened children and if the victim thinks if her partner is trying to kill her. They may seem like obvious questions, but the form has created a regiDOMESTICS: TO PAGE 11

Seniors It’s Time To Review Your Medical & Drug Insurance Coverages If you have not reviewed your medical or prescription drug plans in the last 2-3 years, you should do so this year. There are new plans available, with great benefits, that could save you a lot of money. There is a new drug plan for $35.40 per month with no annual deductible and a zero copay for generic drugs when ordered thru the mail. You can go to any drug store, even Walgreens. This may be important this year as Lipitor and Diovan will be going generic. There is an excellent combination plan (Medical & Prescription drugs) available for $49 per month, or if you are a Veteran who gets all of his or her drugs thru the VA, there is a medical plan available at a very low rate.

Sure, don’t vote, and see if I care (I do) It’s your right not to vote. No, really, it is. It’s foolish, but you’re well within your rights to stay home on Nov. 8 and not participate in the processes that have a distinct effect on your life. No one’s going to show up at your door and haul you off for avoiding the polls. Everyone knows voting is a pretty darn good thing to do, but apparently that’s not enough to get the unmotivated moving, so here’s hoping this column nudges you off the couch and into the voting box. Break it down however you want – as a nation, state, county or city, we are governed by individuals who are placed into positions of power by a voting process. Without this process, we’d be no better than a lawless

DANIEL CALLAHAN Sun-Current Managing Editor mob. We rely on that process to ensure we have leadership divined by the people to be the best we can come up with. And, if they’re not the best, at least the people choose our own elected officials. In my mind, they should be chosen by all the people. At least those who can vote. According to George Mason University’s United States Elections Project, about 2,123,369 Minnesotans voted in the 2010 general elections. The project also states that 3,799,328

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Etienne will offer a fresh perspective To the editor: We are writing to support Deb Etienne for Richfield School Board. Deb has been an active volunteer in the Richfield school system for many years. From PTO to the Quarterback Club, Deb has consistently stepped up and helped out wherever she has been needed the most –oftentimes taking on leadership roles of these organizations. As a school board member, Deb will listen to the concerns and views of the community, making sure she has a solid understanding of issues before voting on policies that will impact our schools. She is well aware of the importance of fiscal responsibility when it comes to working with limited tax dollars. Deb is a very bright and

articulate individual and will complement the board with a fresh and pragmatic perspective. Deb is very passionate about providing the best learning environment for every child in the district and will always put the students first in deciding what is best for our schools. Her creativity and can-do spirit will enhance and energize the board. While we no longer have children in the district, we still want the very best educational opportunities for all Richfield students to prepare them for life in a changing and challenging world. Remember, good schools make good communities. Deb can be counted on to do what’s right for Richfield. Please join us in voting for Deb Etienne for Richfield School Board on Tuesday, Nov. 8. Kari Harrisville and Linda Hinz Richfield

Minnesotans were considered eligible to vote that year. Simple math will show that 1,675,959 legally eligible voters decided it wasn’t worth the time. There are those who do not care about the outcomes of elections. Those who feel the process has gone awry or honestly just don’t care about the quality of our roads, the education our nation’s – or more specifically, this city’s – children are getting, or the direction in which our tax dollars are being spent. So if that’s your goal, stay home. Turn on the TV, spend an hour or two with the “real” housewives of who-really-cares and check out of active society. It really doesn’t matter. To you anyway. Apparently 44 percent of Minnesotans don’t care, so at

least you won’t be alone in your apathy. But please, please, please don’t think you can only choose to participate when you feel like it and still be taken seriously. If you choose not to educate yourself on the issues, not to get to know the candidates and ultimately not to vote, please don’t sit back in your Laz-E-Boy and complain about how things are going. Again, it’s your right not to vote. And, thanks to the First Amendment – personally, my favorite amendment – it’s your right to grumble and mumble about the sad state of affairs when you couldn’t take the time to exercise your constitutionally protected freedoms. But I don’t want to hear it.

The changing world of gathering news Maybe it’s my age or perhaps a generational thing that has caused me to notice, but the world of print media seems to be changing considerably from not too long ago. The use of a pen or pencil and a reporter’s notebook is becoming used less to new forms of newsgathering, which requires one to remain knowledgeable and engaged in these techniques. When I began my career in the media in the mid-’90s, most new technology was not available, thus requiring all of us in the field to pick up telephones, get in our vehicles, and travel to destinations near and far. This was in broadcast media, but the gathering techniques were on par with print, mostly.

MICHAEL RICCI Burnsville/Lakeville Community Editor

The Internet had not taken hold, and of course it did not yet have the impact on people in the way it seems to affect us all in many ways. And even then, my image of a reporter, from old TV shows and movies, was that of a busy man with messy clothes and perhaps a 5 o’clock shadow, and a “press” ID in his hat while wearing a trench coat. In fact, this idea of an “old school reporter” is so outdatRICCI: TO NEXT PAGE

CRAFT / BAKE SALE FUNDRAISER

Ricci FROM PREVIOUS PAGE ed that it is now being offered to all as a Halloween costume. It’s not and certainly has not been a representation of what a modern-day reporter looks like. Now, we like everyone else from many walks of life. If you are a movie or TV fan, I am sure you’ve seen images of an old newsroom. The reporters, in between Lou Grant yelling to finish their stories yesterday, were still hammering away on old word processors, or maybe even typewriters. And with no walls to separate reporters from one another, it was chaos, and loud. This atmosphere fortunately does not exist here at Sun Newspapers, but it still does elsewhere. The difference, however, is it exists only in the energy that comes with reporting the news on deadline. In our time of nearly instant notification of events, or just communication in general, all of the old tools have been pushed aside to make room for more than just computers but all these are capable of. Much work is done by monitoring sites online, and in some cases, the Internet is the primary source for news tips. Some reporters no longer take notes with pad and pen but instead type notes either during an interview or after, having recorded the entire conversation with a digital voice recorder. You still see reporter’s notebooks, but certainly an alternative is being us as well. The gathering process makes it advantageous to any reporter to know of and how to use new software and online sites daily. Instead of a fax, we have portable document files, (PDFs). These replaced the traditionally faxed news releases. We still have a fax machine

here, but it’s not used a great deal. Online streaming has made it possible to view meetings without leaving the office. In other words, a reporter can either watch a meeting remotely as it is occurring or watch it at another time. With the advent of sites like Facebook, Twitter, as well as websites for local governments and many other key news-related institutions, reporters can now monitor activity, engage in any discussions, and most of all we can gather news using these new sources simply with an Internet access. For example, Twitter is being used by the Minnesota Sate Patrol to instantly provide information related to crash scenes, most notably the crash that claimed the life of two construction workers on the Interstate 35W MnPASS land. This allowed for nearly instant, quotable information from a direct source on the scene. Pages like Facebook allow a reporter to “like” an event or an individual to monitor what is happening with the event or whay someone said about. Sometimes this can lead to news if it is not newsworthy itself. As widely used as it is, though, Facebook does not have what a news site features. The difficulty as one who did not grow up with all of this new technology is the need to remain on the cutting edge. It does not come as naturally to those my age and older, but I welcome this challenge as my belief is most people will eventually need familiarity with most forms of technology in the years to come. Now, with smartphones being so prevalent in our society, and the ability they have as “mini computers,” it’s not a stretch to say that the future of news gathering and reporting will continue to change. The trick is, as I’ve said, is to stay on top of this so you don’t get left behind.

mented standard for victims, potential victims, the police department, advocates and the court system. Since Eden Prairie police officers and other departments screen someone in every domestic call, something that could otherwise be missed is accounted for, Olson and Paulson said. Olson offered an example. There was an incident where a police responded to a verbal argument at a home. After talking with and screening the woman while the man was gone, police found out she had been in an abusive relationship for years. If the police had not gone through the screening, they wouldn’t have known. Even though it had not been

reported and no criminal action could be taken for the argument, the woman was able to contact Cornerstone and is now receiving help. The streamlined process also helps in court, Olson said. The standard judicial action for a fifth-degree domestic assault for a first-time offender is to release the defendant, with conditions, until the court hearings or trial begins. In one incident, the judge could see from the lethality screening that the defendant was at high risk for violently offending his partner, so the judge, under his authority of reasonable cause, was able to hold him in jail and set bail at $30,000.

W e e k l y

S u p e r

W e e k l y

Eden Prairie police have started using the assessment since Olson retired, but they have always referred every domestic abuse victim – regardless of the severity of the incident – to Cornerstone. Officers also make contact Cornerstone after making contact with a victim, so Cornerstone can follow up as well. Olson urges anyone who may be a victim of domestic abuse, or anyone who knows a potential victim, to contact Cornerstone at 952-884-0330 or Day One MN Domestic Violence Crisis Line at 1866-223-1111.

Family Partnership receives national award Service agency has offices in Brooklyn Park and Bloomington BY MIKE HANKS – SUN NEWSPAPERS Most years the staff at Family Partnership foregoes the application process for national recognition, considering its accomplishments lacking in some category of the award criteria. In reviewing its accomplishments during the most recent year, however, the Twin Cities organization determined that it met the criteria outlined for the Agency of the Year award presented by the Alliance for Children and Families. The Alliance for Children and Families agreed, naming Family Partnership the recipient of its Agency of the Year Award for mid-size

agencies. “To be recognized is really a significant honor for us,” said Molly Greenman, the president and CEO of Family Partnership. The nonprofit organization has a long history in Minnesota. Founded in 1878 to assist families moving to Minneapolis from outstate farms and across the country, as well as immigrant populations seeking employment in the burgeoning Minneapolis grain mill and lumber industries, the organization continues its work to this day, providing counseling, education programs and advocacy, Greenman explained. With offices in Minneapolis, Bloomington and Brooklyn Park, the organization works through schools, churches, service organizations, social workers and correctional institutions to assist people with a wide array of issues. From assisting victims of domestic abuse to kinder-

garten readiness programs, Family Partnership’s staff of about 100, and a network of more than 1,600 volunteers, provide assistance and outreach to residents primarily in Minneapolis, St. Paul and first-ring suburbs, Greenman said. “We cannot be all things to all people,” she noted, but calls for assistance are never turned away. “We will help them get to the service they do need,” she said. The organization is funded through government contracts, United Way, private foundation and corporate grants and individual donations, according to Greenman. Family Partnership charges for some services, such as counseling, but those often qualify for medical assistance dollars, she noted. Its annual budget is $8.5 million, Greenman said. Family Partnership’s Bloomington office opened in 1974, at the request of United Way and Hennepin County. The

Brooklyn Park office followed a few years later. “There weren’t a lot of services out there for families and kids,” she said. “We responded to a need.” The Alliance for Children and Families includes about 350 organizations nationwide. Family Partnership’s award is its first. The award recognizes excellence in board governance, leadership, advocacy and programming innovation, according to Greenman. “It’s a seal of approval, in a way, from our national organization,” she said. “This exceptional organization has proven its commitment to living its mission each day,” said Polina Makievsky, COO of Alliance for Children and Families. Information about Family Partnership services and locations is available online at thefamilypartnership.org.

Toastmasters develops leaders and communicators More than 200 Toastmasters clubs meet weekly throughout the metro area BY MATTHEW HANKEY – SUN NEWSPAPERS A club exists where people can enhance their speaking skills, as well as leadership abilities. These people commit only one hour per week to attend the meetings. This club is called Toastmasters. There are numerous Toastmasters clubs around the metro area, with more than 230 clubs located within a 50-mile radius of the 55122 Eagan Zip Code. Toastmasters International was founded in 1924 and has had more than 4 million members join its ranks. Currently, there are 270,000 members worldwide who meet weekly at 13,000 clubs. Club 3561 is Blues Communications Plus, which meets 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. each Wednesday at the Blue Cross Blue Shield Anoka Room, 3535 Blue Cross Road

in Eagan. The club has 20 members, mostly Blue Cross employees, but others are invited to join. “One fourth to one third of our members are outside of Blue Cross Blue Shield,” said Vice President of Public Relations Bill Johnson. Toastmasters members are assigned roles for each meeting. The “Toastmaster” serves as the host or master of ceremonies. The “Grammarian” presents a word for the day that all members are encouraged to use throughout the meeting. Other members provide a thought for the day, give speeches or provide feedback on each presenter’s speeches. The “Ah Counter” listens for words and phrases used as pause fillers or verbal crutches – words such as “ah,” “um,” and “you know.” “That feedback helps us to hear our speaking ability, even though we might not want to hear it,” said Vice President of Membership Dave Johnson, who acted as the Oct. 26 meeting General Evaluator. The “General Evaluator” provides feedback to all meeting participants, describing positives as well providing sug-

gestions for improvement. Toastmasters Club 3561 President Jackie Maher joined the club nearly two years ago, and said becoming a member has been invaluable part of her life. “It’s been a great experience – lifechanging in every way,” Maher said. Maher said many new members are instantly hooked and drawn to the club. For many, it’s a highlight of their lives. “I’ve heard many say that this is the best part of their whole week,” she said. “Not only practicing their public speaking skills, but also their leadership skills.” Becoming a Toastmasters member helped Bill Johnson grow socially and as a leader. “Coming to Toastmasters has offered me an opportunity to come out of my shell,” Johnson said. “It’s not a pure social setting, but it’s a setting where people are trying to encourage you.” New Toastmaster club members are assigned mentors who help set goals and benchmarks. New members must present a timeline or framework for how many speeches they will give in any given time. When Jackie Maher joined, she chose to give 10 speeches throughout the first one and a half years of her membership.

“It’s really at your pace to help you along the way, which is really nice,” Maher said. Toastmasters focuses on two types of speeches, impromptu and prepared, Bill Johnson said. People who work in a management positions give impromptu speeches constantly, even if they do not realize it. Toastmasters can help refine those skills, he said. “If you have a job that requires you to interact with the public, you’re constantly doing impromptu speeches,” Johnson said. “Our club helps track you in speeches and leadership.” Though the Toastmasters meet weekly, it is understood that career and other outside conflicts may inhibit members from attending each meeting. Toastmasters clubs meet throughout the metro area, including Apple Valley, Burnsville, Eagan, Bloomington, Golden Valley, Richfield and Eden Prairie, Plymouth, St. Louis Park, Minnetonka and Brooklyn Center. During an 8-10 minute prepared speech, Bill Johnson summed up what TOASTMASTERS: TO NEXT PAGE

Apple Valley PETCO to host pet adoption event More than 50 animals up for adoption at the Nov. 5-6 event BY MATTHEW HANKEY – SUN NEWSPAPERS In these trying economic times, people have been stressed, tensed and some pushed to the brink. Often times, what happens to people’s pets can go unnoticed. Natural disasters in the southern United States, as well as local home foreclosures have provided a wave of animals to animal shelters, human societies and rescue shelters. The Apple Valley PETCO will do its part to help find homes for a small percentage of the thousands of animals who need a permanent residence. PETCO will host a Mega Adoption event 10 p.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 5, and 12-4 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 6, at 7590 W. 150th St. in Apple Valley, at the corner of Highway 42 and Cedar Avenue. The event will help local homeless pets find homes and give animal lovers in the area an opportunity to meet at least 60 different animals each day. Event activities include a “Spin and Win” game for special prizes and guests can also receive pet nutrition advice from Natural Balance, Nutro and Blue Buffalo pet food representatives. Local animal rescue shelters on hand include the Farmington-based Last Hope Inc., Braveheart Rescue from Hastings and Angel of Hope from St. Paul. Lee Knauf, general manager at the Apple Valley PETCO, urges people to attend the event and consider if pet adoption is right for them. “They need to come to the event because there are thousands of homeless pets that need new homes,” Knauf said. “That would be the main reason.” Last Hope and PETCO partner each Saturday for pet adoption events and Braveheart Rescue also works closely with PETCO. The Nov. 5-6 adoption event is the first of its kind hosted by the Apple Valley PETCO. Knauf will consider the event a success, “if all the cats and dogs get a home,” he said. “It just depends upon two things – how many animals are adopted and if nothing else, getting the awareness out to the public that there are a lot more groups out there than just the humane societies.” Bev Orr, president of Last Hope Inc.,

More than 50 animals are up for adoption at the Apple Valley PETCO store Nov. 5-6. (Photo by Matthew Hankey – Sun Newspapers) says the need has never been greater for animals to be adopted. “They need ‘forever’ homes,” Orr said. “Right now with the economy the way it has been, there is a need for us. I’ve been doing this for 27 years and I’ve never seen anything like it. We don’t have room for all of them. Every time we adopt one out, we can bring another in.” Events like the upcoming Mega Adoption are vital for groups like Last Hope because it gives them a public presence they don’t normally have. “We do not have a shelter,” Orr said. “All of our animals are in foster homes. That’s why PETCO is so important. They allow us to bring [the animals] directly to the store.” Through September, Last Hope had adopted out 1,311 animals this year, and have roughly 100 staying at foster homes at one time. All the animals at the adoption event have been vaccinated spayed or

neutered and have gone to a veterinarian for inspection. Last Hope pets can be adopted starting at $100 and all Braveheart Rescue dogs can be adopted for $250 regardless of gender, breed or age, said Braveheart President Brandi Tracy. Tracy keeps 25-30 dogs at her five-acre property. Eventually, her goal is to have 100 acres to accommodate more than 100 dogs at a time. She can give dogs more space and freedom other shelters cannot afford. “It’s so much better for them to be in a home or a place like mine,” Tracy said. “The dogs are outside during the day four hours in the morning and four to five hours at night.” Many of the dogs Tracy takes in have come from places destroyed or damaged by natural disasters such as hurricanes and floods, or from homes that have been foreclosed on and the owners can no longer care for them.

The longer the animals go without permanent homes, the more love and attention they need, Tracy said. “So many of these dogs need to be rehabbed,” Tracy said. “They need to get friendly with dogs again. They need to get friendly with humans again.” Tracy views the PETCO adoption event as a way to get out her message regarding the rescue and adopting out of pets. “What’s important for the public to try and understand, people have decided that euthanization is no longer a viable way to treat animals that have been abandoned or hurt, or owner surrendered,” Tracy said. Last Hope, Inc. calls itself “a chain of love for animals,” said Orr. “It’s always been our standing saying. They really do need people who care.” For more information on the event, visit petco.com/adoptions.

DUCATIONAL XCELLENCE

How to switch majors successfully

Choosing a major is often met with trepidation. College students may feel pressured to choose a major when they are less than certain about what they want to study. Majors aren’t set in stone and students have the opportunity to switch concentrations if their original choice isn’t the right fit. Perhaps now more than ever, there is pressure on students to pick the right college major. In this weak economy, experts are touting advice

on choosing a major that gives students the best chance of finding a job after graduation. The National Center for Education Statistics says that in 2007-2008, the most popular majors were business, social sciences, history, and education. According to Capital University, students usually have so many interests that they have difficulty narrowing their choices. Their first inclination is not to declare a major and wait to see if they find their niche. In general, two out of every three university students change majors at least once. This should give hope to students who feel they need a chance. Here are some tips that should help with the process. * Wait to declare. Many educators advise waiting a semester or two before declaring a major. Take a variety of elective courses and general

In the Community, With the Community, For the Community

Spotlight on Education “Imagine Your Future” education classes that will fit degree requirements regardless of major. * Take an assessment test. The career or guidance office may offer some of the standardized tools to help students find an area of concentration. * Do your research. If you’re considering a new major, talk to your advisor about what will be required of that new major, including classes and other coursework. You can also talk to students currently studying under that major. Knowing what to expect beforehand can make the decision-making process a little easier. * Talk to the dean. Many colleges and universities have deans or advisors in charge of students in certain majors. They will know the courses required for a degree. Switching majors may involve taking or re-tak-

ing some courses that will fit with the new major. It may also mean that some courses that were taken cannot be applied to the new major. This can result in having to take more classes one semester or taking an extra semester to graduate. * Consider finances. Taking different classes or stretching out your college career an additional semester might cost more money. Be sure that the finances are there, whether personally provided or funded through financial aid. * Assess whether your major truly matters. Many liberal arts or general studies majors are applicable in many fields. Therefore, switching majors may not even be necessary. Think about continuing with a current major and then concentrate or minor in something more specific.

Twin Cities business owners form PetPAC BY KATIE MINTZ – SUN NEWSPAPERS Like their customers, a group of Twin Cities business owners have taken to running in a pack. Pet Professionals and Companies, or PetPAC, brings together pet industry leaders and non-profit groups to network and share resources. Sonja Tengdin, owner of Edina-based Scoopy Poo Doggy Doo Pick Up and a co-founder of PetPAC, said as the market continues to expand – Americans spend an estimated $50 billion a year on products and services for their pets – there are plenty of reasons to play nice. “When I first started in the business 10 years ago, none of the other dog businesses in town were very eager to share their experiences, techniques or anything,” Tengdin said. “But you grow so much more from the experience of others.” PetPAC has more than 50 members ranging from veterinarians and pet supply stores to dog walkers, photographers and animal communicators. It formed in 2007 when Tengdin and a few peers realized they were already meeting each other separately to talk shop. Co-founders include Jay Cowan of Fetch Delivers, Lynne Willeke of Bark Busters

Sonja Tengdin, owner of Scoopy Poo Doggy Doo Pick Up in Edina, is a co-founder of PetPAC, a professional organization for business owners in the growing pet industry. She said her dogs, Bode, left, a 100-pound Bernese Mountain dog, and Gunnar, right, a 76-pound flat-coated retriever, are part of her family. (Photo by Katie Mintz – Sun Newspapers) Home Dog Training, Cathy Menard of The Urban Dog store and Amy Rosenthal of the soon-to-open Metro Dogs Daycare and Boarding and formerly the Animal Humane

Society. According to statistics from the American Pet Products Association, total U.S. pet industry expenditures were estimated at $50.8 billion in

2011, up from $48.3 billion in 2010 and nearly double $28.5 billion in 2001. “Ten years ago, people didn’t think about the food they fed their dog. Now, premium isn’t

Purina Dog Chow. Premium is a raw diet, or a brand that costs $70 a bag. They’re a member of the family now,” said Tengdin, who shares her Minneapolis home with a husband, two teenage sons, a 100-pound Bernese Mountain dog and 76pound flat-coated retriever. The former bond trader and stay-at-home mom opened Scoopy Poo, 4402 1/2 France Ave. S., in Edina, in 2002. The business, which pokes fun at itself with trademarked slogans like “We love taking crap from you,” has about 275 weekly yard clean-up stops at a cost of $13.25 per week for one dog or $15 for two. “These are busy families, busy couples who love their dogs and don’t want to worry about the poop situation in their backyard,” she said. “They’re willing to give up those three cups of Caribou Coffee, because that’s the equivalent.” Most PetPAC members come from different backgrounds. Tengdin said she enjoys being able to share ideas with and learn from the experiences of former corporate executives, graphic designers and marketers. Tom Morehouse, a new PETPAC: TO PAGE 23

FROM PAGE 21 FROM PAGE 1 member of PetPAC, previously worked in medical equipment sales. He opened Lucky Dog Pet Lodge, 1067 American Blvd. E., in Bloomington in August. “I got tired of the day to day routine,” said the Eden Prairie resident and owner of 2-year-old Hogan, a yellow lab. “I wanted to do something that I was more passionate about.” He spent nearly two years researching and scouting locations before landing on the 30,000-square-foot facility, which includes and 18,000-square-foot outdoor play yard. Despite the slow economy, he said he was not concerned about opening Lucky Dog. It is the first dog daycare and overnight boarding facility in Bloomington, and is near the airport and Mall of America – and in an industry he called “pretty recession proof.” “People fall in love with their dogs and they do whatever they can to make them happy,” Morehouse said. He said it’s not that people didn’t always love their dogs, but now there are more options to take care of and pamper them. Morehouse heard about PetPAC from another member Ali Jarvis, founder of SidewalkDog.com, an online hub for information about dog-friendly life in the Twin Cities. SidewalkDog.com hosts “Sushi with Your Poochie” events in the summer and invites other PetPAC members and companies to connect with dog owners. Morehouse was planning his first annual Howl-oween Party and Dog Adoption Fair Oct. 30 that would also bring in other vendors.

Eden Prairie resident Tom Morehouse opened Lucky Dog Pet Lodge in Bloomington this summer. The PetPAC member said he feels confident the 30,000-square-foot facility, including 18,000-square-foot outdoor play yard will do well. (Photo by Katie Mintz – Sun Newspapers) “The pet business is a huge industry, but it’s a fairly tight knit industry too,” he said. Tengdin said PetPAC, which meets once a month, aims to become the go-to resource for the pet industry in the Twin Cities. This fall, it is hosting two-part seminar “Growing Your Pet Business” for members and non-members. About 30 attended the first session Oct. 17 with presentations on marketing and promotion from Carolyn Greene of Edina-based Marketing Plus International and Linda Anderson, co-

founder of Angel Animals Network, a PetPAC member. The second session Monday evening, Nov. 7, at The Depot Coffeehouse in Hopkins, will feature PetPAC member Patrick Nau of Minneapolis-based Patrick Nau Photography on strategic partnerships. Nau partners with pet supply store chain Chuck & Don’s. Gene Wood, state director of Business Networking International and owner of Life’s Pure Balance, which sells cleaning products safe for pets, will also speak.

50 percent of the area’s median income, he noted. The project will include a transit plaza that will provide an express bus stop for service into Minneapolis. Michael Development received a $352,000 grant from the Metropolitan Council and a $300,000 grant from Hennepin County toward the plaza, Stark noted. The project received taxincrement financing from the city, as well as city approved tax-exempt revenue bonds issued by the city for financing of the project. “There’s no financial risk to the city,” Stark noted. The city is acting as a pass-through agency for the project. The project was to be financed through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, but a backlog of applications and increased opportunities through the private lending market resulted in Wells Fargo serving as the mortgage lender, he explained.

Is Water Ruining Your Chimney? The Professionals At AirBroom Minnesota In Excelsior Can Help How does your chimney look? Are the bricks crumbling? Does it have White or Black exterior staining? Are you afraid to use your fireplace because you’re not sure how safe it is? When was the last time you used it? The professionals at AirBroom Minnesota Fireplace and Air Duct Cleaning in Excelsior can restore both your confidence and your chimney. Did you know that water causes more damage to masonry chimneys than fire? Your chimney, unlike other parts of your house, is constantly exposed to the elements. They are generally constructed of brick, mortar, tile, steel, and iron. All of these materials suffer deterioration as a result of prolonged contact with water. Freeze and thaw cycles so familiar here in the Twin Cities cause stress on the chimney. Water that has penetrated expands and contracts. Left unchecked it will cause interior and exterior damage to your home and masonry chimney. Some of the damage that can be caused includes: 1) spalled and broken exterior brickwork, 2) deteriorated masonry and metal firebox assemblies, 3) rusted dampers, 4) decayed mortar, cracked or missing flue liners, and in the worst case scenario damage to adjoining walls, ceilings, and woodwork. There are three main ways to prevent water damage. 1) Install a chimney cap. This is the most inexpensive measure to prevent water penetration to the flue and inside chimney elements. We sell and install locally manufactured caps for as little as $99. 2) Repair or replace a damaged chimney crown. The crown sits atop your chimney and covers and seals it from the flue liners to the chimney edge. Many chimneys are built with an inadequate crown constructed from common mortar mix. Mortar is not designed for and will not withstand years of prolonged moisture exposure without cracking and chipping which allows water to penetrate the chimney. A proper crown is constructed of a Portland

cement mixture and formed to provide an overhang drip edge. This assures the water will shed helping to prevent erosion in the mortar and brick of the chimneys surfaces. Keeping the crown “watertight” and shedding away from the sponge like masonry elements that the chimney is built of is the most important element to preventing deterioration. At AirBroom Minnesota we use the industry leading line of Saver products to build and repair chimneys. Use of these products allows us to pass on manufacturers material warranties of up to 15 years to our clients. 3) Waterproof your masonry chimney and crown. Most masonry is porous and will absorb large amounts of water. Brick acts like a sponge absorbing water and wicking it to the chimney interior. Products we use are specifically developed for use as waterproofing agents on masonry chimneys. These are vapor permeable – which means they allow the masonry to breath out but not in. This allows water that has penetrated the chimney to escape while preventing additional water from entering from the outside. Non vapor permeable sealers commonly available should never be used because they trap moisture inside actually accelerating deterioration. We use a special permeable sealer with a 10 year consumer warranty to protect your chimney. Doing this before deterioration occurs can save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars in future repairs. Water damage to chimneys is usually a slow subtle process. The problem is generally not obvious until it has become quite serious. Although these prevention measures may cost you a few dollars they can save you a lot more by preventing large future masonry repairs. The Hartmann’s at AirBroom Minnesota in Excelsior offer free no obligation repair estimates in the Western Metro area. Call John, Jim, or Lynda today to arrange a free no obligation estimate.

Richfield’s Olson returns to state Cross Country meet Senior will run in Class AA meet at 10 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 5 BY DAVE PEDERSEN – SUN NEWSPAPERS The Richfield boys and girls cross country teams concluded what coach Martin Huberty called a “very successful season” at last week’s Section 3AA meet at the University of Minnesota Golf Course. The season will continue for Richfield senior Hannah Olson, who placed fifth in the girls race and will advance to the state

Class AA meet Saturday, Nov. 5 at St. Olaf College in Northfield. To qualify for state, a runner must finish in the top 10 at sections. Olson placed fifth with a personal-best time of 14 minutes, 51 seconds. “I chatted with Hannah before the race and asked her about making the top five,” said Huberty. “She told me that she would need to go under 15 minutes to get that. I told her that she could achieve that goal because of her work ethic.” Huberty said Olson was in 14th place after the first mile with a pack of six girls RUNNERS: TO NEXT PAGE

Notebook: Football and volleyball teams bumped from section playoffs

Runners FROM PREVIOUS PAGE 10 yards in front. The strategy was to work off the pack and then hit the last half-mile hard. “With 300 yards left in the race she was sitting in eighth place, but she turned it up a notch, using a strong kick to pass three girls and run under 15 minutes,” said Huberty. “Hannah worked has very hard all season and the dedication showed in this meet.” The coach said many other Spartan runners hit personalbest times at sections. The girls finished 12th of 16 teams, with Eagan and Prior Lake advancing to state. The second Richfield runner to finish was Erin Brault (43rd), who had a personal-best time. Next came Sarah Nygaard (82nd), Sarah Schroeder (86th) and Leah Mohn (88th) rounding out the scoring. Also running varsity and finishing with personalbest times were Erica Strom (95th) and Laura KruseSimonsen (97th). The boys finished 12th of 16 teams behind state entrants Rosemount and Burnsville. The top Spartan runner was Jon Libra (55th), who had a personal-best time for the second consecutive meet. “Jon started the year as the No. 7 runner, but since the beginning of the month, he has hit an extra gear and has run great,” said Huberty.

(Photo by Mike Shaughnessy – Sun Newspapers) Richfield’s next two runners, Jake Bauer and Lucas Blanchard, finished neck-and-neck, tying for 60th place. Next came Max Hamilton (71th), Cal Bergen (78th), Alex Brault (88th) and Jake Beaudet (99th). Olson will run in the Class AA girls meet at 10 a.m. Saturday. Last year at state she finished 35th in15:24. “This year she hopes to crack the top 20,” said Huberty. “I gave Hannah a goal of ‘15 for 15’, the top 15 places [and] under 15 minutes. Whatever time or place she gets, she has had an

outstanding season, and I am very proud of her.”

Holy Angels Holy Angels also competed at the Section 3AA meet, with the girls placing 11th and the boys 13th. Leading the girls was eighth-grader Laura Bagwell (18th), followed by sophomore Emily Vigil (42nd), senior Emily Ciabatton (69th) and Alice Keefe (70th). Scoring points for the boys were juniors Darby Voeks (45th), Guy Jacques (69th), Luke Peters (76th) and James Douglas (77th).

The football season ended last week for Richfield and Holy Angels as both were bumped out of the section playoffs. It was an uncommon offensive explosion against Holy Angels on Oct. 29 when South St. Paul rolled to a 50-20 victory in the Class 4A, Section 3 semifinals. The Stars had allowed more than seven points in only three other games this season while earning the No. 2 section seed. Holy Angels (8-2) had no answer for Sam Sura, the Packer runner who rushed 19 times for 161 yards and four touchdowns. The Stars got a spark from Anthony Baysah, who rushed six times for 84 yards, including a 78-yard touchdown. Quarterback Sam Keis scored on a 1-yard run and completed a 26-yard scoring pass to Will Pagel, who caught five passes for 84 yards. Pagel also ran 12 times for 59 yards, while Keis gained 28 yards on 13 rushes. “South St. Paul has a really good team,” said Holy Angels coach Ray Betton. “They are huge, physical and run the ball well. We felt like we had to play one of our best games to keep up with them. The fumbles really hurt us.” Holy Angels bobbled a kickoff in the first quarter, getting the ball on its own 1-yard line. SSP eventually scored a safety to take a 9-7 lead. The Packers returned the ensuing kickoff for a score to go up 16-7. South St. Paul led 23-14 at halftime. A series of miscues early in the second half was the turning point, according to Betton. The Stars fumbled on the Packers’ 43, and South St. Paul scored a few plays later. Holy Angels then fumbled the kickoff, lead-

ing to another SSP touchdown. “It was tough running the football against them, and we are a running team,” said Betton. “We had some protection issues in the passing game. [Running back/linebacker] Mikias Alipate separated his shoulder in the second half.” Betton said his defense played well all year, but ran into a bigger and stronger SSP front line. For the second consecutive season, Holy Angels linebacker T.J. Patrias recorded at least 110 tackles. Alipate also played well at linebacker and defensive end Brett Pierce (6-foot-5, 260 pounds) has received some Division 1 scholarship offers. Holy Angels advanced to the semifinals against the No. 3 seed Packers by defeating Henry Sibley 27-7 on Oct. 25. The Stars got touchdown runs of 72 yards from Keis and 74 yards from Michael Price. Alipate added a 6-yard scoring run. Alipate had a big game against Sibley, rushing for 122 yards on 14 carries. Keis gained 104 yards on seven rushes. Price ran three times for 80 yards and Pagel gained 52 yards on six carries.

Come close Richfield entered the Class 3A, Section 2 football playoffs as the No. 7 seed and lost to No. 2 seed Minneapolis Washburn 2112 in a first-round game Oct. 25. The Spartans finished 1-8. Corban Halbur scored on a 1yard run in the first half that ended tied 7-7. Camren Dearing scored on a 3-yard run in the third quarter that ended with the Spartans trailing 14-13. Washburn had the only points in the fourth quarter. “We played a mistake-free game until the end when we threw an interception from their 35-yard line on the final

drive,” said coach Todd Olson. “Both defenses kept the other in check.” Washburn went on to rout Belle Plaine 50-27 in the semifinals. Against Richfield, Washburn quarterback Antonio Ayala passed for 204 yards and Jeffrey Jones rushed for 158. “Our number of wins can be disappointing until you understand that six of our eight losses came against teams that are still playing in the final field of 32,” Olson said. “Our kids have no reason to hang their heads.” Olson said leaders on offense were Robinson and Dearing. The top forces on defense were ends Robert Holloway and Chandler Arrendondo, plus Mick Dhein at linebacker. “The story of the year was we would play well in spurts but did not maintain our consistency,” Olson said. “When you play such tough competition it will force the inconsistency.”

Volleyball Richfield opened the Class 2A, Section 4 playoffs with a four-set victory over St. Paul Academy. The Spartans then lost in four sets to No. 2 seed St. Croix Lutheran on Oct. 29 to end the season 11-17. Holy Angels finished the season 10-17 after losing to Apple Valley in four sets in the Class 3A, Section 3 tournament.

Swimming Richfield Middle School will be the site of the Section 4A girls swimming and diving meet Nov. 10 and 12. The preliminaries in diving run 9 a.m.noon Nov. 10 with swimming prelims at 6:30 p.m. The finals for swimming and diving start at 1:30 p.m. Nov. 12. Both Richfield and Holy Angels are entered.

Grove Coin ... Ranked the Twin Cities Top Coin & Precious Metals Buyer by the Minneapolis Tribune

O L D C O I N S & PA P E R M O N E Y T O O ! EIGHT Things You MUST Know

..... before YOU sell !

1. All dealers do not pay the same price. Whether you are selling the Family Treasures or just some old, broken jewelry, it pays to CHECK and COMPARE. Just call and ask for our gram, pennyweight or ounce prices. 2. Grove Coin is rated the Twin Cities Top Coin & Gold Buyer by the Minneapolis Tribune’s independent survey ..... (Grove Coin payed 8% more than Wixon’s and 32% more than the Gold Guys at the Mall of America). 3. It is RISKY to sell in a Motel ... to someone who will not be here next week ! More often than not, “motel buyers” pay very low prices for gold & silver. 4. Knowledge is the key to accurate, competitive pricing. Grove Coin is a “Full-Service” dealer, well versed in all facets of precious metals, numismatic coins and paper money. 5. We guarantee your visit to Grove Coin will be a pleasant one. Our staff are all experienced numismatists and will assist you promptly with courtesy and respect ..... and your transaction will be strictly confidential.

Call for ...

As you are probably well aware, the metals markets have been quite volatile lately. Accordingly, we must adjust our buying rates frequently in order to remain competitive. We invite comparison shopping and will gladly provide phone quotes on all items which are bought and sold by weight.

6. Always sell to a dealer who can provide good Bank and Professional References. We are State Licenced and Insured.

A Tidbit of History

7. You can get more help on how to best sell your gold or coins by visiting our web site at ..... www.GROVECOIN.com

In about 1074 A.D., eight years after defeating Harold II at the Battle of Hastings, King William I of England (William the Conqueror) issued a silver penny, about the size of a dime, bearing his portrait with a star on either side. In due time, English pennies became known as “stoerlings” from which the modern English currency of Sterling and the tem for fine silver is derived. Some have suggested that the use of stars on the coinage of this period might have represented celestial activity such as the appearance of Haley’s Comet in March of 1066 A.D., the year of the Conquest.

8. At least one very “high-profile” local gold buyer has been know to play games with weights. A high quote means nothing if you don’t get full credit for EVERY gram or pennyweight of gold or silver.
